This two-year Programme is offered on a full-time basis at postgraduate level while covering areas in biblical studies, systematic theology, moral theology, ecclesiastical history and patristics, liturgy and church legislation. Although mainly taught, the programme is structured in such a way as to enhance student participation and research through tutorials, class-presentations and a dissertation.
